Happy #PhycologyFriday! Today also happens to be the last day of finals here at Kutztown. I have a bit more grading to do but I think I can safely say that I survived my first semester as an assistant professor!

Any other algae folks want to weigh in here? The spherical growth is pretty distinctive, but I can't say I've seen this one before. #phycologyfriday 🦑
Hello! Might this be interesting to you? My dad found numerous kelp balls while harvesting urchins along Newfoundland coast. Nothing but kelp inside them. I know similar things are found in the Mediterranean but I didn't see mention of it in North Atlantic ocean. Thank you!
